Definitions

  • the invention relates to a load carrier for a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, having a support structure for carrying a load, which protrudes in a working position of the load carrier to the rear in front of a rear portion of the motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a load carrier is for example off FR 809.094 A or US 2002/005423 A1 known.
  • Load carriers for example bicycle carriers, hinder the accessibility to the rear area of the motor vehicle in the state mounted on the motor vehicle.
  • a tailgate or rear door of the motor vehicle can not be opened when a load rests on the load carrier or its support arrangement.
  • Bicycles are in the way, for example. This problem occurs in particular when the tailgate or tailgate swings relatively far, e.g. at minibuses or vans.
  • the load carrier has a Trobetusch Incs adopted for actuating the support assembly. In a foot operation are relatively large actuation forces available.
  • the load may remain on the support structure.
  • the support assembly includes, for example, a bicycle rack, a support platform for placing loads or the like.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to leave a supporting structure so to speak vehicle-fixed, for example rearwardly projecting supports or support arms, and to mount the actual support arrangement movably on this support structure.
  • the support assembly can be moved from the driving position to the loading position without having to remove the load resting on it.
  • the support structure expediently engages under the support arrangement, at least in the driving position.
  • the support structure is advantageous at least in the driving position on the support structure, for example directly or indirectly, ie, for example on a linear guide or a pivot bearing assembly. It is advantageous if the support arrangement is arranged at least partially above the support structure even in the loading position.
  • a linear guide and / or a carriage can be provided for the linear movability.
  • a pivot bearing arrangement with which the support assembly is pivotally mounted on the support structure. It is understood that a pivot bearing arrangement can also be linearly movable with the aid of a linear guide.
  • the support assembly takes in the loading position expediently a remote from the motor vehicle skew.
  • the support assembly is pivoted away in the loading position of the motor vehicle.
  • a pivot axis of the pivot bearing arrangement expediently passes through a pivot bearing or a pivot bearing pair of the pivot bearing arrangement or is defined by this pivot bearing. Preferably then only a single pivot axis is present.
  • This at least one pivot axis may be fixed in space or movable in space, i. not be room-solid.
  • the pivot bearing assembly has a multi-joint arrangement.
  • two are in the vehicle transverse direction from each other spaced multi-joint arrangements provided for pivoting the support assembly with respect to the support structure.
  • Particularly preferred is a four-bar arrangement or a four-bar linkage. It is also possible to provide more or less than 4 joints.
  • the four-bar linkage can be designed such that the carrying arrangement assumes a substantially horizontal position both in the driving position and in the loading position.
  • the multi-joint arrangement comprises a swivel arm remote from the rear area and a steering arm arranged closer to the rear area, the steering arm being longer than the swivel arm.
  • the support assembly has expediently at least in the loaded state such a center of gravity position that it automatically remains in the driving position and / or in the loading position.
  • the support structure thus remains here without an additional support or support in the respective driving position or loading position.
  • the support assembly passes between the driving position and the loading position an adjustment with a tipping point.
  • the support assembly tilts then, so to speak, in the driving position or the loading position.
  • brackets or the like are advantageous for holding in the driving position and / or in the loading position. These can also be provided as an additional security measure.
  • the foot actuator acts e.g. on the support structure with respect to the movably mounted support structure.
  • the foot control device with the support assembly is fixed or hinged or slides along the support assembly to the actuation along.
  • the foot control device e.g. a linear guide and / or pivot bearing arrangement for the movable mounting of the support assembly with respect to the support structure acts.
  • the foot operating device may act on a pivot arm of the pivot bearing arrangement, in particular the multi-joint arrangement or a single pivot bearing.
  • the foot control device is e.g. connected to a swivel arm fixed or hinged or is formed by a pivoting arm.
  • the foot actuator has expediently a clearance, so that it is between a rest position in which it is out of engagement with the support assembly, and a working position is adjustable, in which it is to adjust the support assembly with this engaged.
  • a locking device for locking the support assembly with respect to the support structure is provided at least in the driving position.
  • An inadvertent pivoting or linear movement of the support assembly which could be dangerous when driving, is prevented by the locking device.
  • the support assembly may include, for example, a support platform for parking the load and / or a sports equipment holder.
  • the sports equipment holder is for example a bicycle holder. It is understood that sports equipment holders are expediently releasably connectable to the support assembly components.
  • At least one expansion component is mounted on a base carrier of the support assembly or movably mounted thereto. In this way, the loading capacity of the support structure can be increased.
  • the extension member is, for example, in its position of use laterally, backwards or upwards in front of the support assembly.
  • the extension member comprises one or preferably two S-shaped or S-shaped support rods.
  • the S-like support rods are preferably laterally releasably attachable to the base support.
  • the base support is, for example, the support structure or the supporting structure movable with respect to the support structure. Due to the S-shape, the support rods project obliquely behind at the top.
  • At the at least one extension component is, for example at least one further supporting platform or at least one further sports equipment holder attachable or attached.
  • the extension component preferably forms an actuating handle for displacing the carrying arrangement into the loading position or the driving position.
  • an actuating handle e.g. a handle, be arranged on the extension member.
  • the support structure is preferably formed by a displaceably arranged on the motor vehicle carrier part.
  • the displaceably arranged carrier part is a carrier part which can be pulled out to the rear on the body of the vehicle, a pivoting part or the like. It is particularly preferred if the carrier part forms a kind of drawer.
  • the support structure preferably comprises at least two carrier elements or carrier bars spaced apart from one another in the vehicle transverse direction.
  • These support elements can be plugged into receptacles, for example, through a bumper of the motor vehicle, for example.
  • the recordings are connected to longitudinal members of a body of the motor vehicle.
  • the support structure has a holder for releasably arranging on a trailer coupling of the motor vehicle.
  • load carriers 10a, 10b identical components are provided with the same reference numerals.
  • load carrier 10a specific components are marked with “a”

  • the side members 14a, 14b are inserted in schematically illustrated receptacles 57 on the body 15 from the rear.
  • the support structure 13 may also be releasably secured to a ball neck 17 of a trailer hitch 18 of the motor vehicle 12 with a hitch bracket 16.
  • the side members 14a, 14b and the hitch bracket 16 are connected by one or more cross members 54.
  • a support assembly 19 is movably mounted with a support frame 20 between a driving position F and a loading position L. In the loading position L, the support assembly 19 is pivoted with respect to the motor vehicle 12 obliquely back away so that it releases a pivoting portion 21 of a tailgate 22.
  • the tailgate 22 may pivot past bicycles 23 which are mounted on the support assembly 19 with sports equipment holders 24.
  • the bikes 23 are a parked on the support assembly 19 load 34th
  • a pivot bearing arrangement 25 is provided between these two components.
  • the pivot bearing arrangement 25 comprises two multi-joint arrangements 26a, 26b, which in the present case are configured as four-jointed joints 27a, 27b.
  • the four joints 27a, 27b include pivot arms 28 and steering arms 29 which are pivotally mounted on pivot bearings 30, 31 on the longitudinal beams 14a, 14b.
  • the pivot bearings 30, 31 are located at a longitudinal end of the arms 28, 29. At a longitudinal end opposite this longitudinal end more pivot bearings 32, 33 between the arms 28 and 29 on the one hand and the support assembly 19 on the other hand present.
  • the support assembly when panning from the driving position F in the loading position L and vice versa would undergo a parallelogram-like movement, ie their top would always be horizontal or at least substantially horizontal.
  • the pivot arms 28 are shorter than the steering arms 29. This pivots the support assembly 19 so that it is in the loading position L obliquely away from the rear of the vehicle 12. This measure increases the pivoting range 21.
  • foot-operated devices 35a, 35b are expedient.
  • the foot actuator 35a includes, for example, a pedal 36 that is operatively connected to one of the shorter pivot arms 28.
  • the pedal 36 is rotatably and pivotally connected to the pivot arm 28.
